Weightless
Courtney Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What is this road?
What is this journey?
And where does time go so slowly?

And how can we help but be who we are?
And change can end too much?
Love may be the end of us, but why, why should we fear?
Because with all the wondering, I'm weightless here in my dreams.
What is this someday?
What is it really?

But a tomorrow or today?
And frozen in the footsteps untaken, we stand side by side
Love may be the end of us, but why should we fear?

Because with all the wondering, I'm weightless here in my dreams
Take me into morning gently
And hand me off into the day

Suddenly I'm running slowly
Suddenly it all goes dark
Love may be the end of us, but why, why should we fear?

Because with all the wondering, I'm weightless here in my dreams
Suddenly I'm running slowly
Suddenly it all goes dark





Suddenly I'm running slowly
Suddenly it all goes dark

Overall Meaning

In the song "Weightless" by Courtney Jones, the lyrics speak to the uncertainty and the transience of life. The song begins with a set of questions about the journey of life, asking what this road is, where time goes, and what the future holds. The lyrics then move to reflect on the inevitability of change and how love may be the end of us. Despite this, the artist argues that there is no need to fear because in their dreams they feel weightless and free from the worries of the world.


The idea of dreaming as a form of escape from the stresses of life is a recurring theme throughout the song. Jones emphasizes that even though life can feel overwhelming and chaotic, when they are in their dreams, they are weightless and all of their concerns disappear. However, the final lines of the song reveal that even these dreams may not be permanent as suddenly, everything goes dark.
